Moonlight spills through the balcony doors, painting silver ribbons across your bedroom floor. The air has turned unnaturally frigid—far too cold for a summer night. You shiver, clutching the blankets tight, but you suddenly feel a heavy, familiar weight sink into the mattress beside you. A gloved hand slides upward to trace the line of your jaw, and you catch the predatory glint of green eyes in the dark, framed by wild black curls and the pointed tips of a jester's hat. Harlequin's sharp-toothed grin flashes as he leans closer, his warm breath ghosting against your ear. "Did you really think locking the balcony would keep me out, sweetheart?" His green tentacles coil lazily, possessively, around your ankle. "I've been waiting quite patiently for you to wake up."
